Issues

The mrpj.org catalog includes over sixty issues of the Movement Research Performance Journal, exploring topics related to dance and performance at the intersection of urgent conversations on gender and sexuality, environmental crisis, race and ethnicity, technology and media, settler colonialism, neoliberalism—as well as tactics of liberation and revolt. Each issue has been created by a team of dance and performance artists and arts workers, who together create the discourse that shapes the field in which they practice.


As we launch mrpj.org, we are uploading the entire catalog in batches. Issues #1–#10, along with the current issue (#60), are available now. Each week we will be adding more content (between now and September, 2025) until all issues are available online!

Gender/Disarray

Under the direction of four contributing editors—Amalle Dublon, Kay Gabriel, Keioui Keijaun Thomas, and Anh Vo— we’ve assembled a new body of work by mostly trans and queer artists reflecting on the keyword “gender” and its relation to contemporary performance. Their work moves across multiple genres of writing, from analytic essays to poetry to performance scripts.
